Special Education

Coalinga-Huron Unified School District offers a continuum of special education services for students 3 through 21 years of age. 

Special Education services can include specialized instruction in the general education classroom, in a special education classroom, or in other settings. Classes and programs serving students with special needs are located in the District's preschool, elementary, middle, and high schools; however, not all programs are available at all sites. In instances where student needs require a site other than the home school, students are provided with transportation.

Students may be eligible for Special Education if they have a disability and if their needs cannot be met through general education programs. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act lists the following disability categories:

  • Autism

  • Deaf and Blindness

  • Hearing Impairment, Including Deafness

  • Emotional Disturbance

  • Intellectual Disability

  • Multiple Disabilities

  • Orthopedic Impairment

  • Other Health Impaired

  • Specific Learning Disability

  • Speech or Language Impairment

  • Traumatic Brain Injury

  • Visual Impairment
